Title: Random thoughts....
Post by Redd715 on Jul 22nd, 2004, 10:07am
I wasn't sure what to expect, or how I was going to feel once I stepped off the plane in Nashville.  Untill that point in time, the members here were but images in my mind, coupled with nic-names, all shareing our own corners of hell with each other through the written word.  That sometimes leaves much to be desired as thoughts don't always flow as smoothly into words as one would hope.

I became overwhelmed with the sheer amount of love and compassion that flowed between the hearts of the people on the porch the moment I walked up.  The energy radiated out in waves like a soft ocean breeze.  Ebbing and flowing with the introductions of the newest members and the still contstants between the souls that have been united for years.

It was a very healing experience for me to not just read that others suffered with this demon, but to meet them, witness that I am sane, with an insane pain.  Not the other way around.  

I was asked Sunday night what means I used to employ to try to rip out my own teeth and sheer look of agony in that persons eyes as I calmly explained the method was the only proof I needed to see the extent to which I was willing to go, if in vain, to rid myself of the pain of an attack.  Things we have all put ourselves through before understanding what the hell was going on with us.  

I sit here now, after my first good night's sleep since returning home, finally able to sit and write what is going through my mind and I know it  is just a ramble of words on your screens.  But I will never forget the tears of love that flowed from my heart and the hearts of others over the course of just a few short days.  I remain in awe of the depth of of compassion and understanding that through my experience till this weekend told me didn't exist.  

My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you, hugged or un-hugged, spoken or silent.  Though it's been said, I can only speak for myself.  And I for one will never be the same.

WOW........them ain't random honey.......they're GRAND words.

"My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you, hugged or un-hugged, spoken or silent.  Though it's been said, I can only speak for myself.  And I for one will never be the same. "

    That sums it up quite well.



hugs,

Yep, that's it. Instant understanding & compassion that can only exist from our shared collective suffering. Words don't normally describe the effect, but yours do a durn good job!
